Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value, unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover represents rent receivable during the year net of VAT. Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Where fair value cannot be achieved without undue cost or effort, investment property is accounted for as tangible fixed assets.
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
